RedEnvelope Is Back at Destination Grille in Grimes, IA!
The wait is over — Destination Grille’s RedEnvelope Giveaway has returned! From November 28 through December 31, dine in with us and you could walk away with an exclusive RedEnvelope — your chance to score prizes, surprise offers, and a shot at a Grand Prize getaway to paradise!
Whether you’re a longtime guest or are just discovering Destination Grille in Grimes, Iowa, here’s how to join in on the fun and experience one of the Des Moines metro’s most exciting dining events.
Limited Envelopes, Big Rewards
There are only 3,000 RedEnvelopes, and once they’re gone, they’re gone! Each envelope hides a prize — $5 off your meal, $10 off your meal, BOGO any drink (of equal or lesser value), BOGO any pizza (of equal or lesser value), or one free appetizer. And for a lucky few, finding a GoldenTicket means an invite to the exclusive GoldenEvening event.
But remember: no peeking! Your envelope must remain sealed until your next visit — opening it early or tampering with it will invalidate the prize.
Reveal Your Surprise in the New Year
Bring your sealed envelope back to Destination Grille in January or February and enjoy another meal with us. At the end of your dining experience, open your RedEnvelope with your server present to reveal your prize.
If it’s not a GoldenTicket, we will apply your offer to your meal during that visit. BUT if it is one of the 50 GoldenTickets, then you’ll be invited to an exclusive event at Destination Grille!
The GoldenEvening: An Exclusive Celebration
GoldenTicket winners will be invited to the GoldenEvening event on March 5, 2026, held exclusively at Destination Grille. Each ticket holder, plus one guest, will receive a prize valued at $250 or more — from gift cards and TVs to free seats at one of our wine dinners.
At the end of the evening, one lucky guest will win the GrandPrize... $5,000 in value toward a tropical vacation for two! The GrandPrize winner will be drawn at random and MUST be present to win.
Last Year’s Winners Lived the Dream
Last year’s RedEnvelope GrandPrize winners, Scot and Jayne, swapped Iowa for Aruba, soaking up sun, savoring incredible food, and exploring a 3-hour tour of Gilligan’s Island. They even discovered a volcanic rock shaped by wind and rain on an island that was underwater for centuries!
With RedEnvelope, a simple dinner at Destination Grille can turn into an experience of a lifetime — who knows where the next RedEnvelope might take you?
